Sports for Schools!

On the 26th April 2016, we hosted our Sports for School event with GB diver, James Denny. The children all had a fantastic time working with James and our ‘sportivator’ Jay to complete a challenging sports circuit. The whole school took part, from year 6, right the way down to nursery. The children then all came back into the hall for an assembly with James, where he showed off some impressive flips and told us all about his career as a diver so far, including his experience as Tom Daley’s synchronised dive partner.
We can’t wait to take part again next year!
